Item #7020

LARGE PACKET

Annuals, biennials and perennials. The bee population has declined in recent years, and scientists aren't sure exactly why. The variety of colorful blooms in this mix provides plentiful food for many of the over 4,000 species of bees that live in the U.S., just waiting to visit your garden! Bee populations have been in decline in recent years. Colony collapse and die-off are serious problems for farmers and gardeners who depend on bees to pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Bees are also important to animals and birds that feed on wild berries, nuts and seeds produced by bee-pollinated plants. Growing these flowers can help save bees, and provide you with a beautiful flower garden.
